To Evaluate if Wide Blood Sugar Fluctuations Lead to Injury of Heart Function and Heart Nerves

August 24, 2018 updated by: Rodica Pop-Busui, University of Michigan

Cardiac Autonomic Neuropathy and Myocardial Dysfunction in Type 1 Diabetes

This proposal will test if, in patients with type 1 diabetes, wide blood glucose fluctuations lead to the injury to heart nerves , called cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN), and to impaired heart contractile (pumping) function and heart failure. It will also evaluate the natural history of heart failure and enhanced cardiac risk in patients with type 1 diabetes in the current standard of diabetes care.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 65 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

Type 1 diabetics who have been diagnosed between 5-10 years and do not have any complications that are associated with Diabetes

Description

Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria:

  • Male or female between the ages 18-65, with type 1 diabetes of 5-10 years duration who are free of complications and age-and-sex-matched healthy control volunteers.

  • You should be free of any malignancy other than basal cell skin cancer.
  • No history of alcohol abuse.
  • You should not use any agents or drugs that interfere with the imaging techniques described below.
  • You must be able to cooperate with the test protocols that are described below and be willing to sign this consent form.

Design Details

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Heart rate (HR) Variability Studies
Time Frame: Three years
Evaluation of heart rate variability and 24 hour blood pressure monitoring: electrocardiogram (ECG) and blood pressure will be recorded while resting in a lying down position and during certain controlled procedures that include deep breathing and other clinical maneuvers such as standing up and exhaling deeply.
Three years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan
Time Frame: Test to be completed at baseline and end of study (3yrs)
Subjects will have a heart positron emission tomography (PET) scan, using a radioisotope called [11C] hydroxyl-ephedrine (HED). This type of heart PET scan allows mapping the heart nerves. You will also have another scan with a radioisotope called [11C]-acetate which will help us measure the metabolism of your heart and how efficiently it contracts.
Test to be completed at baseline and end of study (3yrs)

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
May 1, 2010

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
